I don’t have an opinion on the topic but I see a blind spot in your argument, so I have to be that kind of person … 🥺
One could use the exact same example to argue that humans are very bad at parsing code (especially if whitespace kicks in). In that regard a tool that allows them to reason on a standardized representation of the AST can be a protection against a whole class of attacks.
I kinda like your idea, but I think it can be difficult to detect some confusing situations. I think it would be a better idea, but I don’t think it’s a full replacement.

That’s not a blind spot in my comment. See my final paragraph.

I like the idea, but I can’t come up with any method that won’t devolve into most reviewers only checking the highlighted parts tbh.
